Then how about ol' box-o-rocks?
Palin accepted at least $4,500 in campaign contributions in the same fundraising scheme at the center of a public corruption scandal that led to the indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens
Palin sought pork-barrel projects for her city and state, contrary to her reformist image. Under her leadership the state this year asked for almost $300 per person. That's more than any other state received, per person, from Congress for the current budget year, and runs counter to the reformer image that Palin and the McCain campaign are pushing. Other states got just $34 worth of local projects per person this year, on average, according to Citizens Against Government Waste, a Washington-based watchdog group.
Palin Served As Director Of 527 Group Called ‘Ted Stevens Excellence In Public Service, Inc.’ As we all know Stevens has been indicted on corruption charges. But panama John stated last October on Fox News Sunday, “The 527s need to be eliminated.”
In her earlier political career as mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a private lobbyist to help the tiny town secure earmarks from Stevens, entering Washington's "pay to play" culture in which lobbyists, campaign contributions and lawmakers are intertwined. The town (population around 6000) obtained 14 earmarks, totaling $27 million between 2000-2003, according to data compiled by Taxpayers for Common Sense. $27 million for ONLY 6000 PEOPLE!!!! My high scool had more people then that!!!
In fact, Palin was for the infamous $398 million bridge — to connect the town of Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport on it — before she was against it, speaking in favor of it during her 2006 race for governor.
and then best of all.....
Sarah Palin is Not Ready Says Republican Eaglesburger and McCain Supporter

A former Republican Secretary of State and one of John McCain’s most notable supporters offered a very frank and remarkably bleak assessment of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin’s capacity to handle the presidency should such a scenario arise.
Lawrence Eagleburger, who served as Secretary of State under George H.W. Bush and whose endorsement is often trumpeted by Arizona Sentaor John McCain, said on Thursday that the Alaskan governor Sarah Palin is not only unprepared to take over the job on a moment’s notice but, even after some time in office, would only amount to an “adequate” commander in chief.
“And I devoutly hope that [she] would never be tested,” he added for good measure — referring both to Sarah Palin’s policy dexterity and the idea of McCain not making it through his time in office.
The remarks took place during an interview on National Public Radio that was, ironically, billed as “making the case” for a John McCain presidency. Asked by the host whether Sarah Palin could step in during a time of crisis, Eagleburger reverted to sarcasm before leveling the harsh blow.
“It is a very good question,” he said, pausing a few seconds, then adding with a chuckle: “I’m being facetious here. Look, of course not.”
But alas, these are the two people the republicans want in the most powerful chair in the world.......
after all of that, and that is just a small sample of their "actions and friends", I really wonder who the real terrorists are...
My father always taught me,
Actions speak louder than words....
